Relates to a reduced or free fare program in the MTA for disabled veterans

This bill would require the MTA to create two fare programs for disabled veterans: half-fare for veterans rated 30% or more disabled by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), and free rides for veterans rated 100% disabled. To qualify, veterans must be New York State residents, honorably discharged, and present a valid veteran ID. The program would apply to all MTA services, including subways, buses, and commuter rail. It directly affects disabled veterans meeting these specific VA disability ratings and residency criteria.
